It was just a short sentence but it contained a ton of information!
Everyone turned to look at Li Chengfeng in unison, their eyes filled with shock and conflicted emotions!
Grand Senior Sister was the only one who looked at Li Chengfeng meaningfully, as if she did not find this strange.
Li Chengfeng was stunned, then blurted out, "The Grand Tutor … has seen me before?"
Xie Tianyuan roared, "How dare you!"
How dare you refer to yourself as' I 'when speaking to the Grand Tutor?
Li Chengfeng's heart tightened. He was about to speak when Chang Yuan waved at Xie Tianyuan nonchalantly, then beckoned to Li Chengfeng. "Come with me." Then, he said to Xie Tianyuan, "Show the guests around, don't make things difficult for them."
The other Soul Mountain Sect disciples breathed a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at Chang Yuan. Their eyes were filled with admiration. If they weren't already disciples of the Soul Mountain Sect, they would have been convinced by Chang Yuan and joined the Cosmos God Cult.
Xie Tianyuan was extremely unwilling but he had no way to resist in front of Chang Yuan. He could only swallow his anger and glare at the other Spiritual Mountain Sect disciples, saying coldly, "Everyone, please come with me!"
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing looked at Li Chengfeng worriedly but he smiled at them and nodded, gesturing for them to follow.
Xiaobao and Han Tianxing relaxed a little and followed them.
Li Chengfeng knew very well that if the Imperial Advisor, Chang Yuan, had any ill intentions towards them, they had no chance of winning. Even if they killed all of them, the Spiritual Mountain Sect Master, Ma Qianli, would never fall out with Chang Yuan because of them.
Moreover, who was Chang Yuan?
Did he need to go through so much effort just to deal with Li Chengfeng?
Chang Yuan folded his hands in his sleeves, looking like an ordinary old man as he smiled at Li Chengfeng. "Come, accompany this old man for a walk."
Li Chengfeng respectfully came to Chang Yuan's side, half a step behind him as they walked towards the Cosmos God Sect's twin towers.
As Chang Yuan walked slowly, Li Chengfeng deliberately observed the old man in front of him. His movements did not seem strong at all. He really looked like an ordinary elder in the family, an easygoing old man on the street. His steps were not as heavy as a mountain, nor as light as a cloud.
Li Chengfeng had met Ma Qianli before. When he interacted with him, he could feel the powerful energy in his body. Although Ma Qianli had purposely suppressed this energy, Li Chengfeng could still feel it being condensed into a tiny ball within his inner core. That was the essence of his inner core.
If this Inner Core exploded, the resulting energy would be enough to flatten the entire Sky Seeking Mountain.
However, Li Chengfeng could not sense any spiritual energy or True Yuan from Chang Yuan. He looked so ordinary that he could not be more ordinary. He was like a house that could be entered and exited at will. His four walls were bare, and it could be seen at a glance. There was nothing there, but it contained everything.
Because he was Chang Yuan!
No one really thought of him as an ordinary old man.
The two of them walked to the bottom of the twin towers. At the entrance was a long flight of steps. The yellow-robed Enforcers on the steps were all kneeling down, like wheat fields under the autumn wind.
However, Chang Yuan did not bring him into the twin towers as Li Chengfeng had guessed. Instead, he brought him around the twin towers and into a forest behind the twin towers.
The Divine Capital was huge, and it also had mountains and rivers. This mountain was not considered tall. Compared to Mount Lingshan, which was known as the number one mountain in the world of fortune, this was like a small mound of dirt.
Li Chengfeng followed Chang Yuan into the forest. Very soon, the surroundings dimmed. It was as if this not-so-lush forest had blocked out all light from the surroundings. It was as if they had arrived in another world.
There were all sorts of strange flowers and plants growing in this forest. Li Chengfeng could not name them at all. The trees looked extremely strange. Some trees looked like huge mushrooms with only one leaf. However, this leaf was extremely huge, like a fungus crown. It hung down vertically in the shape of an umbrella, wrapping around the entire tree trunk.
There were also trees that grew extremely tall. Their trunks were straight and thick, and the entire tree looked like a javelin. At the very top, there was a flat leaf that looked like a'T '.
There were even some trees that looked more like animals. They were wriggling and breathing, and their trunks were emitting multicolored light. The tree patterns on the leaves would gradually light up with each breath of the trunks and branches, emitting bursts of light green.
Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded. To think that such a dream-like forest was actually in the Divine Capital!
Li Chengfeng was mesmerized by these strange flowers, plants, and magical trees. However, Chang Yuan did not seem to have the intention to let him admire them in detail. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, "Li Chengfeng, have you ever thought of a question?"
Li Chengfeng was jolted awake. He also stopped in his tracks and asked respectfully, "May I know what Sect Master Chang is asking about?"
Chang Yuan said with a hint of a smile, "Haven't you ever thought about why you're still alive until now?"
This sentence … seemed normal, but it actually contained a lot of information, and it was filled with killing intent.
That's right, he was a reincarnated Golden Immortal. So many powerful figures knew his identity, so why didn't they kill him?
Also … the underlying meaning of this sentence seemed to be: There's a reason why you're still alive until now!
Li Chengfeng's expression was cautious as he said in a low voice, "What do you mean, Sect Master?"
Chang Yuan saw that Li Chengfeng did not reply to him and was unwilling to admit his identity, so he did not mind and continued walking forward. Li Chengfeng did not pursue the matter and followed closely behind him.
The two of them walked further and further into the dense forest. At the end of the forest was a small lake. It was not big and they could see the end of it at a glance. However, the lake water was jade-green, like a huge emerald. There was a small wooden house by the lake. The person who lived in the wooden house seemed to have sensed their arrival. Before Li Chengfeng and Chang Yuan arrived, he opened the door and came out.
A beautiful woman walked out of the hut, dressed in a white mink fur cloak. Her features were as beautiful as a painting. Li Chengfeng was stunned when he saw her.
He recognised this person!
It was the Martial Saint Zhang Zaijun and the woman he met during the Cleansing Moon Li family's ceremony in Cheng 'an City before the Grim Stork attacked Wind Ridge.
When they wanted to go to Spiritual Mountain, Li Chengfeng had even shown them the way.
It was because of his guidance that they came back to save Li Chengfeng's family.
Li Chengfeng was a little excited because he saw another man walk out of the hut. He wore a brown cloak, his hair messy, his cheeks thin and slightly sunken. His eyes were long and sharp, his face yellow and sickly. He was tall but his back was slightly hunched and he coughed from time to time.
This was none other than the Martial Saint Zhang Zaijun!
Li Chengfeng knelt down emotionally and kowtowed heavily. "Benefactor, Li Chengfeng thanks you for saving my life!"
